Poland showcase

18th of May 2011

As the ISSA/INTERCLEAN Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) exhibition opens its doors in Warsaw, Poland, ECJ takes a look at the the events taking place at the show, and the products visitors can see there.

Warsaw in Poland is the venue for this year's ISSA/INTERCLEAN Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) exhibition, which takes from May 18-20. Over 40 international exhibitors are set to attend, with the total number expected to reach 180.

Companies such as Vileda, Diversey, Kränzle, Columbus, Kärcher, Ehrle, Kiehl and Nilfisk-Advance will exhibit. The dedicated Washroom hall will be host to names including SCA, Dyson, Jofel, WEPA, Ophardt, Temca, JM Metzger, Flesz, Lamix and Merida. There will also be halls dedicated to Laundry and Facilities Management - as well as live demonstrations throughout the show.

Many international brands are still seeking a foothold in the countries of central and eastern Europe, as distribution channels are yet to be established. The organisers of ISSA/INTERCLEAN CEE say the event is a successful meeting point for manufacturers, potential distributors and agents.

Alongside the trade exhibition is a seminar programme organised by ISSA and the Polish cleaning industry association PIGC. Subjects to be covered include designing cleaning-friendly buildings; clean railway stations and trains; the role of associations in improving the industry's image; and cleaning in healthcare facilities.
